Hey guys,

Today I shortened and sleeved the DDC pump and added one missing piece to the pump and res combo in order to be able to properly bring the loop back to the top of the res.

It's sort of like a Bitspower aquapipe but out of a piece of acrylic that EK offer for these reservoir tops.

Originally I wanted to use the Bitspower aquapipe as I have quite a few laying around however EK chose to have larger than G1/4" threads on the inside of these tops for some reason so the aquapipe didn't work. Luckily I found the acrylic tube that EK offer locally.

Once I received it, just had to shorten it to fit this res.

These are the threads on the inside of the res top.

Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more to come over the weekend!

Yea, it's pretty nice. Glad it fits so well in this case :D

I think the only way it would light up is with one of those cap LED lights as it doesn't have an LED or anything or any spot to plug one in.
Oh. I thought that particular res came with one :(

Here's the new EK stuff I received. Nickel plated mounting bracket and a new clear Supremacy EVO top, part of the upgrade kit. Also new RAM modules to replace the ones that were powder coated before.

Hey guys,

Front panel is done and here is how I applied it on, very simple with some double sided 3M tape.

Thanks for checking it out and hope you guys like the finished front panel!

Oooooh man! :drool: :drool:
Tell me the panel lights up. I'll drool everywhere lol

Thanks man! Unfortunately it won't light up, it's pretty much what it is now is how it will be in the end :) I could probably add an LED strip somewhere but not sure if I would like the look of that, there will be enough light coming from the inside of the build :)

Hey guys,

Another quick update. The GPU is good to go and I also cut up these fan frames that will go around all the fans in the build to give them more colour.

You can see on the GPU the pink and purple caps have been covered with chrome vinyl.

This is the design I went for with the frames to just cover the edges of the fans.

Just need to get painted and filed down a little bit more, will be same silver colour as the side and front panel.
